Heh. Our cats learned pretty fast that going on the kitchen counter tops
is a no-no.... Still keep my spray bottle of water at hand and in plain
sight in case they even think about it <grin>

I'm the same; hate dirty bathrooms and I can't start cooking if the
kitchen's a mess.

Amen to that. Most of my floors are tiled (including the kitchen and
laundry room) - just sweep 'em and then mop 'em with some household
cleaner and hot water; works for me. Carpets can indeed harbor more
'germs' and grime IMHO, and if you spill something sticky like soft drinks
or the such like on them - ick.
